I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 656 is just a lesson!
"Amos, Jay-Z has nothing to do with this. He hasn't dared to go out since Beyoncé was attacked last time."

You know, she has a lot of business.

This matter has had a great impact on her, so could you…

Liu Jin hadn't expected that Shakira was actually pleading for Jay-Z.

He paused for a moment on the phone before saying, "Shakira, I know nothing about this."

Their attack had nothing to do with me. As for your claim that Jay-Z and Mela's car accident were unrelated, I don't believe it. My information is that this was Jay-Z's idea. Of course, I'm very sorry that Ms. Beyoncé was implicated... What I want to say is that, as of now, this only applies to Diddy, Will, and a few others, and has nothing to do with Ms. Beyoncé.

As for letting Jay-Z off the hook?

I'm just a writer studying in a foreign country; how could I possibly let anyone off the hook?
Don't worry, I've also received some information... So far, they've just been taught a lesson; their lives are not in danger.

There was silence on the phone!
Liu Jin insisted that he had nothing to do with the matter.

No matter how vividly the rumors spread, without evidence, nothing can be done about him.

Shakira is a seasoned veteran!

She is two years younger than Liu Jin, but she debuted ten years earlier than him.

He released his first album in 91, while at that time, Liu Jin was still living a muddled life.

She quickly understood what Liu Jin meant.

This matter has nothing to do with Beyoncé. As long as Beyoncé doesn't get involved, she won't be affected.

What happened last time was just an accident.

Jay-Z definitely needs to be taught a lesson.

This guy is Diddy's strategist... Liu Jin even knows about this, which means he must have spies around Diddy.

However, it has nothing to do with Shakira.

She made the call only at Beyoncé's request.

As for her and Beyoncé...

We're all in the same circle, so we inevitably have some interaction. But as for close relationships? Yes, we have some, but not many!
When Beyoncé came knocking, she couldn't very well refuse.

Whether Liu Jin will give her face after she has delivered the message is another matter.

Now, Liu Jin has spoken frankly.

Although he vehemently denied any involvement, his words implied that Beyoncé should stay out of trouble and she would be fine.

Jay-Z won't be in mortal danger, but he'll definitely be taught a lesson.

As for the extent of the lesson learned?
Shakira didn't ask.

She has a sense of boundaries and knows how to speak.

After a moment of silence, she smiled and said, "Amos, are you going to Egypt?"

"Yes, I'll be watching your concert."

"Haha, then I advise you not to come. Egypt is very chaotic. There are many black people here, and you can't figure out their background."

You can't guarantee that Diddy's group doesn't have any friends in Africa.

Most likely not!
But they were all Black.

Black people help Black people, what if there are fans of Diddy or Will? The Black man was acting impulsively, but he didn't care about anything else.

There's no reasoning with that!

Liu Jin was stunned.

To be honest, he didn't really care.

But Alizee on the other end of the phone got nervous.

"Liu Jin, you'd better not come."

After my performance as a guest performer ended, I went back to New York with Avril Lavigne to start preparing for my concert.

By the way, is the house renovation finished yet?

"Gina said it's finished and she's waiting for you to come back and inspect it."

"Alright, I'll be back in New York on the 30th. Listen to me, don't come to Cairo. Rest in Marseille for two days, then you can go straight back to New York."

Alizee's attitude was very firm.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Jin had no choice but to agree.

I feel a little sorry for Shakira, because in the original timeline, Shakira's concert in Cairo was held outdoors at the Giza Pyramids, with 15 attendees. It was known as the largest solo concert in African history, bar none.

What a magnificent sight!
After being reborn, isn't all I want to do is have fun?
It is indeed a pity that I was unable to witness such a grand scene in person.

Well, it's okay. If you can't see the Giza Pyramids concert, there's still the Mexico City Zócalo concert.

It's said to be even bigger!
21 people participated...

However, if you go to Mexico, it's best to bring a security team.

"Shakira, when is your Mexico concert?"

"September 5th!"

Liu Jin made a mental note of this date.

……

Old Jiang got a tan!
The sun in the south of France is intense, and it's a port city.

The sea breeze and sun exposure made this guy's already not very smooth skin even rougher.

With a stubble beard, messy hair, and a fishy smell, he looked more like a fisherman who made his living at sea year-round!
The fairy had also gotten quite tanned, and when she spoke, her accent carried a strong southern French accent.

Her eyes shone even brighter.

The baby fat from his early years has disappeared, giving him a resilient and sturdy appearance.

Liu Jin's arrival made Lao Jiang and Tianxian very happy.

Aunt Liu grumbled privately, "It's too much suffering... My sister's angelic face is now turning into a little sea monster." Mr. An reprimanded Aunt Liu very seriously.

This is the attitude an actor should have.

If you can always look beautiful by glaring and pouting in front of the camera, and your lines are just numbers 12345678, then you shouldn't be an actor.

Mr. An's generation of actors were referred to as cultural workers.

And the future...

Calling them "actors" is sometimes an honor!
Olivier maintained his mild demeanor and welcomed Liu Jin's arrival.

Isabelle Huppert then stepped forward and hugged Liu Jin, saying with a smile, "Amos, you are such a gentle man."

"how do I say this?"

"Isabelle Adjani's The Chorus won the Berlin Golden Bear."

"what?"

"You do not know?"

"I really don't know. I came back in a hurry this time, and there have been a lot of things to do."

I contacted Isabelle Adjani once last month, but haven't had a chance to get back to her since... I came straight over after filming wrapped up.

Liu Jin really doesn't know.

When he wasn't filming, he was writing and paid no attention to the outside world.

Sophie and the others were busy meeting the deadline and didn't have much interaction, so they really didn't know that "The Chorus" had won an award.

Old Jiang laughed and said, "Old Liu really nailed this time!"

"Wow, your French is good now."

"Nonsense, do you think I've been here for the past six months just to have fun?"

……

That evening, Liu Jin dialed Isabelle's number.

She wasn't in France; she went to America.

"Amos, you've really stirred things up. Half of Hollywood is talking about Will and his crew."

"Hey, hey, hey, this has nothing to do with me, okay?"

"Okay, okay, it's none of your business... Anyway, thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for speaking up for European actresses. Hollywood's attitude towards actresses like us from Europe has improved a lot now."

Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh on the phone!

"I admit that I was involved in this matter, but... hehehe, I was just trying to vent my anger at first."

"But regardless, things have definitely changed, thank you!"

Liu Jin and Ajani chatted for a while about the spring of The Chorus.

This movie is expected to be released in May.

Isabelle Adjani and Rickyon are discussing submitting their work for next year's Oscars.

She was a little disappointed that she missed this year's Oscars.

The main problem was the excessive pursuit of perfection in post-production, which resulted in a delayed final cut. Even if it were submitted for an Oscar, it wouldn't have been ready in time…

There's no time for public relations.

So we had no choice but to submit it to the Berlin Film Festival first.

Isabelle Adjani rose to fame with this film.

Although she was already famous, this film actually won awards, which further elevated her status.

"The Las Vegas Seamaster Arts Investment Fund wants to sign me to a contract for ten films. What do you think?"

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing!
That guy Kasimi... that's why you can't trust ZD.

He only succeeded in one project, and this guy is already trying to poach talent from other companies.

"ZD's funds can be absorbed, but they cannot be the main force."

Those guys' goal is to promote themselves... If they succeed, everything is okay; if they fail, those guys have no credibility.

It's fine to help them win awards and make some money, but don't get too close.

"I think so too, after all, the global attitude towards ZD is not friendly at present."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly changed the subject.

"Amos, how about I sign with SNEG?"

"what?"

"I want to sign my directing contract with SNEG."

At least you won't cheat me... Besides, I'm used to being lazy, and I can't accept being busy with work every day."

The uniquely French laziness!

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

“SNEG is a small company and doesn’t have that many resources. Think it over carefully.”

"I've thought it through very clearly, and I'll sign under SNEG."

"Okay, I'll have Mela contact you later."
